The Kochchikade Police have taken into custody nearly 5000 unused SIM cards used for mobile phones from the Ma Oya in the Kochchikade area, Negombo.

A group of youths who had gone fishing in the Ma Oya had discovered the sack of SIM cards today (20) and when informed the Wennappuwa Police, they had been instructed to bring the sack ashore.

Upon inspection, the sack of SIM cards had been in within the Kochchikade police division; therefore Wennappuwa police had informed them to hand over the parcel to the Kochchikade police.
